>bikes with spokes that are actually tubeless type wheels... Very very expensive wheels.
I don't think it's particularly cost-related, after all there's not much price difference between the KTM 690 Enduro with standard spoked wheels and the KTM 690 Supermoto with it's fantastic orange tubeless spoked wheels.
Given that I can buy a KTM 1190 R with 21/18 tubeless spoked wheels I can't understand why tubeless spoked wheels aren't more widely available.
In the absence of tubeless tyres, I'm thinking of running mousses in the KTM 690 Enduro tyres, but this would limit my tarmac speeds.
